i had a dream where a child was coming to me. she was going to be a girl, a daughter. i remember little else except how much i wanted her, how much love i already felt for her. i was dwelling on a name. i thought, how can i even name her? she is too wonderful to be named by a woman, tied to the earth.

i don't know what it meant, but i feel as though my heart is enlarging. day by day, it's brushed by pain or revelation, and it fills me more and more. like a woman with child, life itself my labor.
